All it's saying is that his influence extended to Toronto. I don't think it's too farfetched for him to have had some ties there.
The boss Salvatore Miceli lived in Toronto in the '70s and maintained ties in Canada. In the beginning of the 1990s, after a failed cocaine transport, Giovanni Brusca had condemned Miceli to death. However, he was saved thanks to the intervention of Vincenzo Sinacori and Matteo Messina Denaro who made clear that Miceli belonged to the Mafia in the province of Trapani, and that the "palermitani" could not act against him without the permission of the Mafia bosses of Trapani.
